"Waiting On" Wednesday - Son

"Waiting On"  Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week I'm waiting on...  

Son  by Lois Lowry



* Book will be released October 2, 2012


Check out the description from Goodreads:


"Told in three separate story lines, Lois Lowry’s Son combines elements from the first three novels in her Giver Quartet — The Giver (1994 Newbery Medal winner), Gathering Blue, and Messenger — into a breathtaking, thought-provoking narrative that wrestles with ideas of human freedom. Thrust again into the dark, claustrophobic world of The Giver, readers will meet an intriguing new heroine, fourteen-year-old Claire. Jonas from The Giver is here too, and Kira, the heroine ofGathering Blue. In a final clash between good and evil, a new hero emerges."


I have adored each book in this series. It's the first dystopian type book that I've ever read, it kind of introduced me to the whole science fiction/dystopian genre. I can't wait to see how the story ends because each new story has just been so intricate and intriguing.
